Abstract
This report describes a survey of the ideas and feelings of UK students about global warming, and comparisons are made to those from a similar closed-form questionnaire which had been used 9 years previously. Comparison of the responses of the two cohorts suggests that the current generation of students have fewer scientific ideas about the greenhouse effect, but also hold fewer misconceptions. Those students who reported using television as a source of information showed greater knowledge about global warming, but did not hold fewer misconceptions, whereas students who reported learning most about the greenhouse effect from school did show fewer misconceptions. It is suggested that this may indicate limitations of learning from television or other electronic sources such as the Internet, in that pre-existing or newly-generated misconceptions cannot be detected, or therefore challenged.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
